Bring your passion, ideas and purpose to life in a company that can help you shape your career as you shape the future of healthcare.

Abbott is about the power of health.

For more than 135 years, Abbott has been helping people reach their potential — because better health allows people and communities to achieve more.

World Leader in Glucose Monitoring, Abbott Diabetes Care designs, develops and manufactures glucose monitoring systems for use in both home and hospital settings.

We have a Centre of Excellence in Witney for the development and manufacture of electrodes and biosensors used by patients and healthcare professionals for the day-to-day management of diabetes.

The site has been instrumental in the research, development and manufacture of the FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System as well as exciting developments in the Libre family including FreeStyle Libre 2, FreeStyle Libre 3 and the Libre Sense system.

We are passionate about doing work that improves the quality of people's lives.

We have an exciting opportunity to join our Quality team as a QA Associate, Calibration, supporting our wider quality team in ensuring compliance to site and divisional policies and procedures.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to:

- support and make recommendations for the development, implementation and improvement of ADC quality systems for calibration
- perform calibrations, scheduling and performing internal and external requirements to the correct standard, accuracy, and frequency
- oversee calibration records (including calibration alerts / requests / procedures and training materials), ensuring these are maintained, accurate & periodically reviewed
- support system activities (Maximo), including Asset creation, data sheets, Preventive Maintenance schedules and provision of training

To be successful, you will have a minimum of secondary level education (to include English and Maths), and ideally bring experience in a similar role, or quality based environment.

Preference is given to those with prior calibration experience, ideally from a Laboratory environment.

Good IT skills are required for this role along with strong written and oral skills to help generate clear and legible documentation and understand technical information.

Some of your work will involve cross-functional teams, so you'll also need the communication and inter-personal skills to be able to build relationships with colleagues in various departments across the business.

Abbott has health/wellness and financial benefits that help provide security for you and your family.

In addition to a competitive salary, Abbott offers a highly attractive benefits package which includes a market-leading defined contribution pension scheme, private healthcare and life assurance, and a flexible benefits scheme which you can tailor to your own requirements.
